Welcome to the Third World Congress on Targeting Extracellular Vesicles 2026
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Targeting Extracellular Vesicles 2026, to be held on November 12–13, 2026 in Porto, Portugal.
Following the strong scientific momentum of previous editions, the spirit of Targeting EVs continues: to explore extracellular vesicles not as isolated entities, but as central drivers of biological communication, adaptation, and dynamic medicine. Read More
